JCenter was being cranky the other day, so following should help:

    repositories {
        mavenCentral() // <-- add this at top
        google()
        jcenter()
    }

@IgorGanapolsky I dunno man but apparently it solved the issue for me and 8 other people who upvoted it? Technically it's because jCenter was overloaded, so moving it to the bottom and adding mavenCentral at the top makes Gradle look for it in mavenCentral first, and jCenter second. If it's not overloaded at the time, the order shouldn't affect anything, though. If this is not the cause, I'd put my wager on `implementation` vs `api` in Gradle build dependency. – EpicPandaForce Oct 03 '18 at 19:02
This is solved my problem, thank you @EpicPandaForce for that great answer. By the way my problem was - problem occurred configuring root project could not get resource kotlin plugin 1.3.0 on Android Studio 3.2.1 – Mohamed ElSawaf Nov 12 '18 at 08:53

Add the JCenter repo to your Project-level build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        repositories {
            //...
            google()
            jcenter() // <--- this is needed
        }

        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'
    }
}

Working like this

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.1.1'  //Add this line
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {

        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
}

Add the following to your Project gradle file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'
    }
}
